This month we cover a wide variety of topics from some helpful tips on what to do if you travel overseas through to advice for you on the changes to the Queensland Work Safety Laws and interstate driver’s licences.
We are finding that there are a number of employers who always need to know just how long their new staff from interstate can drive on their interstate licences before requiring a Queensland licence.
Hopefully you find that information helpful.
It is worthwhile to read Jodie’s article on the new Work Safety Laws as there are some significant changes in these laws which effect employers particularly. I also recommend you read the article by Andrew Telford on Mario Demartini which gives a great insight into Mario and his work in the Whitsunday & Proserpine areas.
